Weird Fascination For Some Men. A Chinaman has for twenty-five | years posed successfully as a woman, | His. real sex was only recently dis- covered, while he was undergoing a GIVING OF KNIVES. Superstition About it Syrvival From Primitive Man, The popular superstition that fit "breaks friendship" to give or ac- cept a knife without something of value--preferably money--passing in return, is a survival from the pri- mitive man, says Answers. The savage, having progressed from a club to a knife or spear as a weapon, soon learned the danger of relinquishing it merely for friend- ship's sake. His friend, having dis- armed him, was apt to be his friend no longer, So, for giving «up his knife, even to his friend, he remanded a re- compense. And he saw that when a friend presented him with a weapon, | that friend presently came to regard him-----because of regret for the act, or because of envy at the added su- periority the gift bestowed--with suspicion, growing into enmity, Whereas, if he gave a considera- tion for his knife, it was a matter of fair trade, and friendship was likely to endure All this became so deeply ingrain- ed in the mind of the primitive man, that the idea survives today as a popular superstition. +-- Popular superstitions belong to folk lore, and, where they have not a religion derivation, are mostly sur- vivals from ancient civilizations, or are inherited from our savage ances tors. x This man, Liang Yay, has had an | amazing career. When only four | years old he was sold dy his parents {to a nuunery in Canton, and was | brought p there by an old nun. { Until he was thirteen years of age he had a pigtail, and was then order- ed by the old 'nun to dress himself as a maid in the convent, | When Liang was sixteen he fell in love with a nun, named Chan Suisum. T.ey made their escape to Hong Kong, but his sweetheart deserted him on account' of \his poverty. At the time of his: argest he was em- ployed ad a domestic servant, and no one suspected his real sex, Since his ¢scape from the nunnery he had dressed and posed as a woman. Such cases are not so rare as might be imagined. There have been a number of men Who have been brought up as girls from childhood. A few days ago a case came to light in Carnarvon, While looking: for an army absentee, supposed to be mas- querading in female attire, a ser- geant noticed a young woman, who was detaine' on suspicion. A doctor established the fact that this person was a male, and inquiries proved that | the young man had been brought up as a girl by his grandparents. A man lost his power of speech after being kicked in the face by a mule.
